Found Amelia on the 1901 census,wrong letter for the middle name,but its definitely her,as I recognise her husband and kids. She has had 5 more kids since 1891. Some of her other children may have moved or died.

Then on the 1881 census there is an Amelia MATHEWS with parents William and Emma this time born Bermondsey, Middlesex abt 1864. She is a Button Holer.
